    Hemlock varnish shelf of course!



    Found these the other day on my bug infested walk through a nearby state park. They're pretty impressive. Shiny, colorful and huge - like dinner plate size.



    Here's junior with his bud -



    It's sort of what I imagine a primeval forest to be like. Now where are those 3-foot dragonflies?

    Interesting set here, WD. I'm liking number 1 the most in this set.

    They are all perfectly shot WD. Love all three of them. The DOF and the sharpness in each shot is excellence.
    Reality is a nice place to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there!

    Thanks guys. That last one really conveys the texture well...it's smooth, dense and a bit waxy, like patting a dolphin.

    #3 is my fav .. for sure ... love the colorchange in the fungus, wonderfully done.

    Being an old trekkie, this could be the "enterprise" being attacked by a giant space slug. I bet this image would lend itself perfectly to some major PS manipulation ... mmmm YES!!!!

    Is it just me ... or does that actually sound very familiar? I think the Enterprise was attacked by a giant space slug once!
